Any pilots here?

I used £90 worth of Tesco clubcard vouchers to get an hour's helicopter flying at Elsetree. Does that count?

Seriously, I've wanted to get a license for ages but the costs in the UK are prohibitive. When I checked a few years ago Australia or the USA were less than half the cost so I'm saving up to go there.

I'm a PPL/IR Multi although the IR bit expired sadly.

Fly Seneca II twins at the moment. I flew alot 7 years ago in Australia (Perth) and the USA although flying twins in the UK is ridiculously expensive (£300/hr) and I struggle to maintain qualifying hours now.

Suggested I go to singles/microlights but once you've tasted the 200mph+ twins, it's difficult to go back.

Wife won't let me have my own plane until the mortgage is paid off...
